Pile is the name of the Western entrance (gate) to the Dubrovnik Old City but it also refers to the area just beside the entrance, where you see the main bus stop for tourist and local public buses and a taxi parking. It is very easy to find.
I usually meet my guests beside Amerling fountain , which you can easily find as it is big fountain centrally located on Pile square known as Brsalje.
Almost all local buses have their final stop at Pile and it is also a final stop for the cruise ship shuttle buses which are anchored in main Dubrovnik port of Gruz. Bus ticket costs 12 kunas (~1,60€) if you buy it on the bus and 10 kunas (~1,30 €) at tobacco shops. A taxi to Pile costs around 10€ from the port of Gruž or Lapad. Call a Taxi at number +385 20 970 (Taxi call center).

The old harbor is located at the Eastern side of the Old City and is easily reached from Ploče (Eastern City Gate and area), but it is also just 5-minute walk from the Pile Gate.
The harbor as meeting point is most suitable for guests visiting Dubrovnik by cruise ships which anchor in front of the Old City, as their tender ships use the Old City harbor to transfer guests to Dubrovnik.
It’s also the main harbor for ships going to Cavtat or the nearby Island of Lokrum.

We’ll pass the main Dubrovnik street Stradun and the most important churches. We’ll visit the Franciscan monastery, founded in
the 13th ct., with the oldest Pharmacy in Europe that still operates and a museum with jewelry made by Dubrovnik goldsmiths,
holy relics and old church manuscripts. Later we’ll go to the seat of Dubrovnik Republic government – the Rector’s palace, the
most beautiful building in Dubrovnik, which was the main Dubrovnik public building and hosted court, senate meeting room, prison
and armory. You will hear about Venetians – the main competitors and the Ottoman Empire – the most dangerous neighbor
of the Dubrovnik Republic.

Before we climb onto the City Walls, we’ll make a short sightseeing tour of Dubrovnik streets, passing the main street Stradun,
the Rector’s palace and the Old City Harbor. We’ll take a full walk on the 1940-meter-long Walls and I’ll tell you how they where
built and reinforced during the centuries as the war techniques were changed. We’ll stop at the great photo spots at the top of
the Forts and Towers where I will tell you the legend about the foundation of the city and secrets of the nearby Island of Lokrum
and I’ll talk about Dubrovnik main economic branch – Maritime and Navigation.

Before you go and look for the nightlife in Dubrovnik or before your dinner, it will be very funny and informative to make a short

locals go out and what are the most popular clubs and bars among Dubrovnik guests.
